Abstract: A system interactively controlled by a TV viewer
remote control transmitter displays current or future
programming information superimposed over the normal
programming displayed on any channel accessible to the
viewer's display screen. Identification signal data
are accessed and generated by the computer for
durations defined in the identification signal data
either automatically or in response to the TV viewer
remote. Information signal data are accessed and
generated by the computer in response to the TV viewer
remote. A signal combiner superimposes the
identification signal or the information signal over
the viewer usable signal of any selected channel from
the tuner. The identification signal may include data
defining an icon or textual matter alerting a viewer to
the availability of information data. The information
signal may include program descriptive data, schedule
data, pricing data and/or payment authorization and
recording prompt data and the like sequenced for
interactive control of the computer by the viewer. The
identification signal may be specially dedicated to a
normal programming information channel so that the
viewer can interact with respect to specific programs
identified without changing from the programming
information channel. Thus, the viewer is able to 
receive an automatic alert to availability of current
and future programming and to elect to interactively
exercise a variety of options with respect to such
current and future programming without interruption of
presently viewed programming.

The fabric transport system has two continuous paths (3a,3b), parallel to the stitching direction, with a limit guide (4) between them for the edges of the fabrics. Feeds (5,5') for covering ribbons (6) flank the limit guide, for the cut edges of the fabrics, and for the half-sections of the sliding clasp fastener. The sections of the sliding clasp fastener are delivered in cut lengths, or they are drawn off a wound roll. The straight sewing head and the looper head form a multi-needle sewing machine.

system. A first seat (12) has an annular wall (18) that retains
a first disk shaped magnet (24) therein and an annular
channel (26) is defined there between. A second seat (30)

Abstract: [Problem] Providing a loyalty program with game that executes games
on a smart card (100), wherein the loyalty program with game can also
be used as a simple loyalty program without game, no major
modifications need not be made to shop terminals, and the number of
times customers can play games can be limited according to sales
amounts. 
     [Solving Means] Point data managed by a point application is divided
into two types: "pre-game points" and "post-game points." In shops,
points are added to the pre-game points. For game execution, the pre-game
points are subtracted, and points gained by game are added to
the post-game points. 
     [Effect] Shop terminals need not be modified, and customers not to
play game can also enjoy reasonable exchange of gained points. From
the viewpoint of system management, by limiting the number of times
customers can play game, points gained by game can be prevented
from circulating infinitely.

Abstract: A method for forming sets of tri-metal material involving the use of cladding
mills. When multiple sets of tri-metal material are formed, the outside surfaces of
each set is prepared by oxidation to prevent each set from adhering to the set above

surface of the tri-metal material. Alternatively bonding materials may be used on the
intermediate surfaces; such bonding materials can be selected from a group
consisting of tin, nickel, titanium, chromium, silver and zinc.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel uses of xanthine derivatives,
more particularly pentoxiffyline, derivatives or metabolites thereof,
alone or in combination with cytochrome P450 inhibitors, such as e.g.
ciprofloxacin. They may be used for treating tumors, hormone-related
disorders, neurological or auto immune diseases, for treating patients
undergoing bone marrow transplantation or receiving toxic agents. They
are useful in modulating the effects of internal and external stimuli
on cells by reversing the effects of these stimuli on the short-term
secondary messenger pathways. In particular,
the compounds of Formula (I), lower elevated levels
of unsaturated, non-arachidonate phosphatidic acid
(PA) and diacylglycerol (DAG) derived from said PA
within seconds of the primary stimulus and their
contact with said cells. The modulatory effect
depends on the nature of the target cell and the
stimulus applied.

Optional additional steps include: before the inflating step, heating the tire (120),
preferably to a controlled temperature above a glass transition temperature of
the tire's ply cord material; and before the end of the controlled time, cooling the
tire below the glass transition temperature.

Abstract: In a color management method for a printing press, colorimetic values of a
first patch (3a) for generating a profile printed by the printing press are
measured, so that a printing press profile representing a color
reproduction characteristic of the printing press is generated from the
measured colorimetic values of the first patch and a dot area percent of
each ink color predetermined in correspondence with the first patch.
Colorimetic values of a second patch (4b1-4b4) for determining stability of the
printing press printed by the printing press are measured. The measured
colorimetic values of the second patch are compared with colorimetic
values, in the printing press profile, having a dot area percent
substantially equal to a dot area percent of each ink color predetermined in
correspondence with the second patch. A warning is generated based on
the comparison result. A color management apparatus for a printing press is
also disclosed.
